Compiled by Umm 'Abdir Rahmaan Tara Hashim 

There are 15 places of prostration in the Qu’raan. 

It is Sunnah and not waajib to make a prostration at these 15 places.

They are marked by:

1.       A symbol in the margin with the word ‘sajdah’ in Arabic
2.       A black line above the words in the aayah
3.       A small black symbol at the end of the aayah and before the aayah number

This is what one place in Suratul Inshiqaaq [84:21] looks like:

My face has prostrated to the One Who created it and made its hearing and sight by His Might and Power.
سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ بِحَوْلِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ
3
O Allah! Record for me, a reward with You for it, remove a sin for me by it, and store it away for me with You, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your worshipper Dawud
اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِي بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَجْرًا، وَضَعْ عَنِّي بِهَا وِزْرًا، وَاجْعَلْهَا لِي عِنْدَكَ ذُخْرًا، وتقبَّلها منِّي كما تقبَّلتَها من عبدِكَ داودَ
